Turning the DC output on and off
DC output power is only supplied when you turn on the DC power output in general
with the "DC Power" feature.
You have to turn on at least one of the individual voltage supplies V
supply
, V
tune
or V
aux
(
➙
Output State ) before you can turn on DC output in general.
When you turn off DC power supply in general, no power is supplied, even when the
individual outputs have been turned on.
Remote command:
SOURce:VOLTage[:STATe]

Coupling the output configuration across measurement channels
You can couple the configuration of the DC power output and the (optional) signal
source output across all active measurement channels.
When you turn on coupling, all active measurement channels apply the same configu-
ration.
When you turn off coupling, you can define a different configuration for each measure-
ment channel.
Remote command:
DC power:

Configuring the DC power output
The R&S FSPN features three outputs that allow you to supply external devices like
the DUT or external measurement equipment with DC power.
The outputs are labeled "V
supply
" (supply voltage), "V
tune
" (tuning voltage) and "V
aux
"
(auxiliary voltage). Each of the outputs has different characteristics regarding the sup-
ported voltage range and maximum output current, and is thus designed for different
purposes.
Note: If you change one of the DC power output parameters during a measurement,
the measurement is aborted and restarted.
For more information about the output connectors, refer to the getting started.
Basically, you can define the same parameters for all three outputs.

Turning the output on and off ← Configuring the DC power output
Apart from the general DC power output state , you can turn each individual output on
and off. Output is generated only, when the required DC output is actually turned on.
By default, all outputs are turned off. When you want to use one of the outputs, turn it
on.
